Invicta brought back its one-night Phoenix tournament format for its second ever show on AXS TV. However, this time it had a twist—fan voting.
Fans were able to vote on the first round match-ups for the eight woman tournament, which was designed to determine the next title challenger for Invicta FC atomweight champion Alesha Zappitella.
And the winner of that grand prize was a fighter who challenged Zappitella just three weeks ago: Jéssica Delboni, who still swears she won that close split decision loss to Zappitella. To win the tournament Delboni defeated Tabatha Watkins, Marisa Messer-Belenchia and then a spirited Lindsey VanZandt in the final.
